Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup red and green gumdrops or chewy candy, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Melt the mixture: Add butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir with a greased spatula. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Fold in candies: Allow the melted mixture to cool for about 1 minute, then gently fold in the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candy until evenly distributed.
- Set the candy: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to press it into a flat, even layer.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or up to overnight to set completely.
- Slice and serve: Lift the candy out of the dish using the parchment paper. Remove the paper and slice the candy into small bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container for best freshness.
Notes
- Ensure to stir well between microwave intervals to prevent burning the chocolate and marshmallows.
- If gumdrops are not available, use any chewy colorful candies for a similar effect.
- The candy can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.
- For a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of peppermint extract to the melted mixture before folding in candies.
- Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts into small bite-sized pieces.
